Other Prayer Requests
 
CAMEROON
-1) Pray for the Oneness Seminar with three Trinitarian Churches in Kribi, (French Zone).  2) Also, pray for our church documents which are pending for official registration. The Government has announced that they will be closing down all churches that are not registered, starting with those that have not applied for registration. We need a miracle for the completion of our registration.
 
CONGO (DRC) -- It is estimated that there are currently 30,000 child soldiers in the Congo. "Easy to train and even easier to hide, these children are too young to vote but old enough to carry a gun. With historic elections just around the corner, these boys and girls - a third of those recruited are young girls - represent the enormous challenge that lies ahead, to stabilize a region that's long been rebel territory. In Masisi, in eastern DR Congo's north Kivu region, a range of militia, including remnants of Rwanda's Hutu patrol the hills. Despite the presence of UN peacekeepers, the recruitment of children into armed groups continues with impunity. Most of the children who have swollen the ranks of the militia and the fragmented Congolese army have been abducted from their villages. Ndungutsa was taken when he was just 13 years old, forced to make a choice between the militia or death. 'When they came to my village, they asked my older brother whether he was ready to join the militia.' He was just 17 and he said no; they shot him in the head. 'Then they asked me if I was ready to sign, so what could I do - I didn't want to die.' The youngsters are either taken on as fighters, porters or guards. For the girls, many end up as 'soldiers' wives' or sex slaves, some as young as 10. With elections just days away, there is little incentive for the militia to hand over their children, not least because most armed groups will see their power eroded" (BBC World News).
 
LIBERIA - Please pray for Pastor James C, Korboi.  He has malaria or typhoid fever symptoms, but all his tests are showing up negative.  The doctors are not sure what is wrong with him.  He is in a lot of pain and needs a miracle.
 
NIGER - Help us pray for the people of our country who have not yet received the truth of Oneness and the Baptism in Jesus Name.  Also, pray that the Holy Ghost will be outpoured in our country.  We are believing the Lord for access to have a daily radio program for the proclamation of the Apostolic Doctrine.
 
ZIMBABWE - Pray for peace to be restored.  There are talks now between the two political parties.  Hopefully agreements will come from these talks.  Also, pray for the economy of the nation.
We have just finished all three sub regional conferences: one for West Africa during the month of June and two, South Central Africa and East Africa during the month of July.  All three were outstanding as national leaders and missionaries joined together to be challenged anew with our responsibility of reaching Africa.  We were encouraged by teaching and preaching of our visiting ministers.  Thank you for helping us pray for these very special events.  They were all a great success.
As you join with us for the prayer requests for the upcoming month, we want you to know how much we appreciate your help in carrying our burden and needs in prayer.
 
May Jesus bless you.
